As we open up 2014, there’s temptation to look forward to the year in movies that await us. For me, 2013 was a bit underwhelming, especially during the summer, so here’s hoping that 2014’s slate of films picks up the slack a little. Here’s this week’s 5 For Friday: 5 Most Anticipated Films of 2014

5. Godzilla

Release Date: May 16

And why not? The Wolverine has been the central figure in all three of the X-Men films and has had enough power at the box office to bring in nearly one billion dollars[1]. That doesn’t include his X-Men: Origins film, his appearance in X-Men: First Class or 2013’s The Wolverine.

So, why the attraction? Why is Wolverine such a magnetic figure? It’s not hard to see. First, for his fans and fans of comic books in general, having the powers of Wolverine would be insanely cool right? Retractable, indestructible claws, instant healing, heightened sense of sight and smell, and super-human strength? Yes, please. This is the stuff that boys’ dreams are made of (and…

The Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters was founded in 1963 as by Dr. Brian Xavier, noted nuclear scientist and founding member of the Future Foundation think-tank. Located in Westchester County, the purpose of the Academy was help facilitate the next generation of scientists and great thinkers though the highest standards of education. To that end, the Academy had a generous scholership program, allowing the brightest minds to attend the school irregardless of their income or social status. Despite its lofty goals, the Xavier School never had the prestige of some of the older schools in New York and New England.

When Brian Xavier died in 1975, his son Dr. Charles Xavier became headmaster of the school. It was then that the name of the school was changed to the Xavier Academy of Higher Learning. Due to poor attendance, the school was shut down in early 1992.
